“No… Of course not.” Alice bit down on her lip and stared at Joshua with a pitiful expression. “I wasn’t upset with you. On the contrary, I’m thrilled to be able to work at Lynch Group. I know that the reason you wanted me to come in to work is that you didn’t want me to feel bored at home, and also because you wanted me to get used to this place so that we can work together in the future, but…”
Joshua narrowed his eyes. “But what?”
Alice sighed and glanced at Joshua. “I was scared that if I start from the bottom, the rest of the employees will look down on me. Even though I’m the CEO’s wife, I still have to start from the bottom to climb to the top…” Alice wiped her tears and continued, “Joshua, you know that I was born into an ordinary family in Sea City. My family isn’t wealthy, and I’ve always felt insecure about that…”
Joshua’s brows furrowed upon hearing that. He gazed at her red-rimmed eyes and heaved a deep sigh. “You’re right. Working with someone as skilled as Luna might’ve been too challenging for a moment, then finally said, “I’ll ask her to assign you some easier tasks.”
He lifted his head and fixated his deep gaze on Alice. “I can understand why you acted the way you did just now. You lashed out at Luna because you wanted to make everyone else respect you and gain your dignity back. However…”
Joshua narrowed his eyes. “Did you really break Luna’s photo frame by accident?“
Luna had so many items on her desk; why did Alice just so happen to break the photo frame? Why did she step on the photo, puncturing a hole right through Luna’s face?
Joshua was not stupid. He knew that it was not just a simple accident.
Alice knew this as well, so she took a deep breath and admitted the truth, “I did it on purpose.“

The readers' comments on the novel: Will you marry me, My Ex-Wife (Luna and Joshua)
Luna is sooo stupid!...
This story line is sickening… her children, Nellie in particular, do not like Malcolm. She is already married to Joshua, the father of her children who loves her more than Malcolm ever could. Just disgusting....
Another “misunderstanding”…… poor Luna, why can’t she just say the Quinns kidnapped me instead of assuming Joshua is doing the wrong thing. Terrible....
I sure hope Aura gets arrested and pays for her many crimes soon, along with Adrian and Michael. Joshua and Luna need peace with their children....
Joshua is stupid, he says he loves Luna but refuses to tell her the truth thinking he can never recover from all the deceit, if he told the truth he could redeem himself and live a happy life with his family rather than continue to protect a bunch of evil criminals. Terrible decisions by a man who is smart enough to run a multi faceted company....
Omg this author is twisted!! When does Luna catch a break! This is awful. Aurasnd Fiona are evil, evil women and are using the children to commit their crimes 🤬...
And now the author has made it sound like he cares more for Fiona who he has only known a couple of weeks than Luna, his wife, the love of his life. Stupid and pathetically disgusting....
Wow, making Joshua out to be so stupid, ugh. Yes he told this horrible bitch he would accompany her until she died, but she lied about her fake illness so I guess he’ll have to live with her forever! He also promised to love, honor and cherish his wife Luna however seems to forget that with each passing malicious mistress, Aura, Alice and now Fiona. Awful. Let’s get past this into some storyline that involves some happiness for Luna… the only woman who truly cares for and loves him. Get rid of Fiona, soon....
So disgusted with this Fiona storyline, hope it doesn’t last much longer. Joshua told her when they made the deal he had someone in his heart and would not sleep with her. They could be faking a relationship and he doesn’t have to be so nasty to Luna and the kids. It’s heartbreaking and giving him another ridiculous relationship is unnecessary. Just makes more misunderstandings for Luna and harder for her to forgive him....
Joshua is in the wrong, even if Fiona asked him to keep their fake relationship a secret he should have told Luna what was going on. After all, supposedly he lives Luna and the children and is doing this for them. Being deceiving is not working for him....
